Mother’s Day weekend was beautiful this year. We headed to the Lilac Festival on Saturday with Becky, Jared and Andy’s parents. There were only one or two trees actually with lilacs (a little disappointing) but all the other trees were in bloom and gorgeous.

We’ll just have to make do with cell phone pictures. Sometimes it’s just too much to bring the dslr while wearing cassidy and trying not to lose ben in crowds of people.

It was nice, something a little different, thing to do for Mother’s Day. We had a low key rest of the weekend, Andy made me breakfast and we had some friends over for lunch after church. Then we played outside and watched Star Wars. Low key is good.

Also, I’d posted this on facebook but just wanted to share here too:

Happy Mother’s Day to all my lady friends today…married, single, with children, waiting for children, having lost children (and having lost mothers)…we’ve all been influenced and loved by someone with a mothering spirit.

A SPECIAL happy Mother’s Day to my awesome mommy Shelley who raised me, my step mommy Leslie who joined my life later, my mommy in law Judy who let me marry her son and my church mommy Christine. You are some amazing, strong ladies and I love you <3

Happy Mother’s Day!
